“When I was council president I had a rule that people could sleep on the job. I modified the rule. You could actually sleep in public if you weren't sitting down. I had three people who actually perfected the art of sleeping while standing.”

“Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.”

“I love to sleep. I'd sleep all day if I could.”

“Also, I could finally sleep. And this was the real gift, because when you cannot sleep, you cannot get yourself out of the ditch--there's not a chance.”
